Bryce Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I just installed the font Athelas using Font Book and the Affinity apps cannot see it. Indesign and LibreOffice can use it just fine, but not Publisher or Designer in either V1 or V2. Is there something I should try? I'm on Ventura 13.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 Ok. Thanks for that. I just upgraded to Ventura. That makes sense now that the upgrade is what caused the problem. I had them before. What a shame. I have the duplicate installed and other programs see it just not Affinity. The one thing I would say that contradicts the other thread is that existing documents can't use it either, and maybe that changed in a recent update of the OS.

Affinity applications do not incorporate Apple's font controls. And they have said they are not going to. Apple blocks the fonts based on the internal PostScript Name. So you can buy the fonts and they will still not work because the name is the same. Blocking fonts you own is asinine. Only way to make the fonts work is to change the name (properly including all the internal fields). Bryce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
